The Meaning Of "Americs."

The meaning of the name Amerigo has
often been discussed, the only thing GER
tain being that it is one Of those names OF
Teutonic origin, like Humberto, Alfonso.
Grimaldi, or Garibaldi, SO common in
northern Italy, which testify to the Gothic
or Lombard conquest. Americ, which
occurs as early as 744 A. D., is probably
a contracted foyu Of the name Amalaric
borne by king of the Visigoths, who
died in ISL. A Bishop Enrich was present
at the Council of Salisbury in SO7, and
an Americas Balistarius is mentioned IN
the Close Rolls thirteenth century,. 1t
has been conjectured that the stem is Inn,
from which we get the name of Emma.
The meaning of this is not known with
certainty, though Ferguson thinks 1t may
denote ''strife" or "noise." Since, how
ever, the name is probably Of Gothic
origin, and since the Amalungs were the
royal race of the ostragoths, 1t is more
likely that the stem is ANAL. which was
formerly thought TO mean without
spot" but is now more plausibly con-
nected with the old Morse ami, ''labor.
"work." The suffix ric, cognate with
rex, reich and rick, means rich" or
..powerful," and therefore the most prob
able ignillcation of Amerigo is strong
for labor. Isaac Taylor in Notes ans

The Ways Of baby Elephants.

How the young elephants In the large
herds escape from being crushed is some
thing Of mystery, as they are almost
continually in motion; but when herd is
alarmed the young almost Immediately
disappear. A close observer would see
that each baby was trotting along directly
beneath its mother, sometimes between
her fore legs.
On the march, when little elephant is
born In herd, they stop day or two to
allow II time to exercise its little limbs
and gain strength, and then they press
on, the mothers and babies in front, the
old tuskers following in the rear, but
ready to rush forward at the first alarm.
When rocky or billy places are reached,
the little one are helped up by the moth
es. who push them from behind and in
various ways: but when river has to be
forded or swum, a comical sight ensues.
The stream may be very rapid and
rough, as the Indian rivers often are after
Q rain, and at such q place the babies
would hardly be able TO keep up with the
rx<a: 80 the mothers and fathers help
them. At first all plunge boldly in-both
young and old-and when the old ele-
phants reach deep water, where they have
to swim. the young scramble upon their
backs and sit astride, sometimes two be-
ing seen In this position. But the very
young elephants often require a little
more care and attention, 30 they are held
either upon the tusks Of the father on
grasped IN the trunk OF the mother, and
held over or just at the surface OF the
wHter. Such o sight Is curious one, TO

Gently made Q talk TO the young men

them some excellent advice, judg.
ing the whole by the following
sage counsel: II should say to any
young man who should advise with
me that 1t were better for him to take
the place of schoolmaster in . high
school in Omaha or Duluth, or Walla
Wslla than 10 take q similar position
or even one more attractive financially

Two things are certain: First, that
by going 20 western work he would
learn something Of his own country
that he cannot learn 10 the cities OF

has the chances the west gives to
young men and which the east with
holds from them until they are 40 or

Malone recently held caucus at his
residence, in Petersburg If there was
any representation in that caucus from
this section of the State other than $.
Brown Allen and w. f.. Criag it does not
appear. Is it not quite time for self-re-
specting Republicans to determine
something or somewhat for themselves {?
We would suggest that the self-re-
speeding Republicans of Virginia should
hold a conference elsewhere than in a
private house and after due notice and
especially when but two office holders,
designated or invited by creosote-
timber combination, represented tae
entire Valley of Virginia.
Now that Malone has given Craig
letter, personal and political. and writ
ten by Riddleberger, we would suggest
with a modesty not BETTING him that
he send Craig around with statement,
sworn to by Malone, as to who wrote
the entire pamphlet at Barnum's Hotel
in response to the inquiries of New
York bankers, which pamphlet WAS
signed by William Malone.
1t is unnecessary for me to state that
Malone never wrote or indicted n word
of the correspondence between the
committees Of 1880. He knows that
he was instructed to support the Blair
educational bill, and in terms, by
members of the General Assembly that
elected him that he disregarded. these
instructions and undertook to comprO-
mise the party, and opposed the bill to
the uttermost, except being in the
Capitol and lacking the moral courage
to vote against it. If there exists any
doubt a solution can be had by reference
to the Virginia journals of lSSl-'S2
and the Congressional Record OF
1SS3-'S4, and the author of this article
Will verify it all in the presence of Will
liam Malone at any time and place he
may designate.
For this thing called Republican
nee ting in Petersburg We have no re-
speci, and we repeat that no selfre-
specting Republican, and no Republic
cans having decent respect for his
party, can feel otherwise than that
there should be meeting of Republi-
can in this State held outside OF pri-
vate residence. where there could be
full and free expressions. -Sendtor

To the E'ditOr Of Dispatch
q Is /, like many thousand others, de-
five most of my knowledge from the
Dispatch, and especially from the Sun
day Dispatch, always wish to see that
as correct as possible. The account Of
the skull of James Annesley's sweet
heart was only partially in accordance
with history, for Annesley himself not
only omits any account of falling in
love, but makes particular mention of
the cruelty with which he was treated
by the daughter of his Pennsylvania
master. Another thing Neither -" Rode
rick Random nor any other of Smol-
let's novels were "founded" on this
story, but it is introduced as an episode
in Peregrine Pickle" along with
another more famous bnt not very
creditable interjection in the thread of
the story. Charles Reade's Wander
ing Heir" was founded, however, on
the chequered history Of James An
nesley. Those who wish fuller details
of the very interesting account given
in your Sunday issue may rely on
Smollett's mentioned above, or can re-
fer to the GenticmGn's Magazine OF
that date. ).
